Chuwi’s latest Android tablet the Hi9 Air, a deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 tablet with two SIM slots. MicroSD, GPS, FM Radio. The screen is a fully laminated 2560 x 1600 IPS panel with 2.5D glass, for some reason the brightness Chuwi toned down. It should be much brighter than its 205 lux max I measured for this Sharp branded panel. The ROM is stock Android 8.0 with no bloatware and the build...[Read More]

Chuwi’s new 10.1″ 2560 x 1600 deca-core Android 8.0 tablet is now listed and up for sale on Gearbest.com, it’s a flash sale priced at $219.99 and according to the website shipping between the 12th and 15th so it seems they are due to get stock very soon. I’m waiting for my Hi9 Air that has already shipped, and Bangood just recently stopped taking orders for some reason and ...[Read More]

Update: 19th April. Chuwi have just posted and Bangood that orders will now ship on the 28th of April due to a delay in production. http://en.chuwi.com/news.html Chuwi’s latest Android 8.0 tablet the Hi9 Air, is now up from preorder over at Bangood.com for $239,(scratch that it’s now $199 from the HK warehouse) it seems they must have exclusive rights to sell it first as I don’t...[Read More]

Originally I thought they would be covering just the Chinese LTE bands like the Alldocube X1 & Voyo i8 Max. Both of those models with the same MediaTek 10 Core Helio X20 have different modems, the Chinese Helio X20 modem. Only LTE band 1 & 3 supported which are used in Europe but not by everyone, at least here in Spain, it works for me. But the Chuwi Hi9 Air is looking like the one people ...[Read More]

Chuwi is getting back to the Mini PC market, but this time with a rather powerful one. Not a weak Apollo Lake or Gemini Lake SoC, but the new 8th Gen Intel Core i5 8305G. Based on Kaby Lake-G it’s a very interesting chipset that combines both an Intel CPU and an AMD dedicated GPU on one die. The GPU is a Radeon RX Vega M GL graphics, which is around 30% to 40% faster than a Nvidia 1050. The ...[Read More]

So the full specs (almost) are now known for the MediaTek Helio X20 powered Chuwi Hi9. So we know it has a 10.1″ 2560 x 1600 fully laminated screen, maybe the same exact panel used in the Teclast Master T10. And that the build is metal, apart from the top antenna strip from before. But new info from Chuwi shows it will ship with Android 8.0 out of the box which will be the first Chinese tabl...[Read More]

The Chuwi Hi9 Air went back to the drawing board it seems, I always thought it was going to be 8.4″ tablet like the Hi9. But now it’s 10.1 inches still the same 2560 x 1600 resolution, so 16:10 aspect ratio and yes it’s fully laminated. Since it’s now 10.1-inches shouldn’t it be called the Chuwi Hi10 Air? The interesting part is the chipset is a MediaTek Helio X20, de...[Read More]

Chuwi’s going to be present at CES 2018 in Las Vegas (Tuesday the 9th to Friday the 12th). They will be showing off the Corebook, Surbook and Hi9 models. The Chuwi Corebook is closing the gap also to the $200,000 Indiegogo crowdfunding milestone. Once it reaches this figure, Chuwi will upgrade the 128GB eMMC 5.1 spec storage to SATA3 spec 128GB’s which is great news. The RAM has alread...[Read More]

Chuwi’s back with a new tablet, this one’s called Chuwi Hi9. With a fully laminated 8.4″ 2560 x 1600 JDI screen with 2.5D glass edges. The chipset powering this Android 7.0 tablet is a MediaTek MTK8173, quad core with 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM and PowerVR GX6250. It’s got 64GB of eMMC 5.1 storage (Great) and has a MicroSD card slot. And micro USB 2.0, but no HDMI out. The battery i...[Read More]

Chuwi just recently posted on their twitter, if they pass $100,000 mark they will be upgrading for free the CoreBook’s RAM from 6GB to 8GB putting it then inline with competitors Core M3-7Y30 tablets. The current money raised is $80,000, so 20k short but I can see them reaching this goal. I hope the next move is to make the 128GB eMMC a SATA3 SSD instead, at least like what we have in the Cu...[Read More]

The smaller version of the Chuwi Surbook has arrived for my unboxing and review. The Surbook Mini is only 10.8 inches and uses the Microsoft Surface 3 screen. It’s 1920 x 1280 fully laminated with over 450 nits of brightness and by far the best part of this 2-in-1 tablet. The keyboard still hasn’t shipped but should in a week or two, hopefully in time for my review. It’s got 2 x ...[Read More]

Chuwi’s Corebook crowdfunding is now live on Indiegogo.
